• finding that administrative remedies need not be exhausted “where there is no adequate administrative remedy or provision for review of the agency decision”

• requiring exhaustion even “where the act of an administrative agency is alleged to be ultra vires or illegal”
• dismissing declaratory judgment action alleging ultra vires actions by State Commission on Human Relations because any judicial review must lie from the administrative remedy, not in a declaratory judgment action
